My friends Kiky and Dipo pledged their lives to each other in traditional Indonesian fashion. The two day four part ceremony took place in Kiky’s hometown Makassar, South Sulawesi. Held at her parents home and The Grand Clarion Hotel (Makassar’s finest), their wedding was the most extravagant thing I have ever witnessed. The intricacies of the clothing, decorations and food was astounding! And the shear size of the event was difficult to comprehend, with 4000 guests attending the reception!
All in all, an incredible new cultural experience. A backstage pass to Makassar’s wedding of the year! I say “wedding of the year” because Kiky has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Though the eldest of the three won’t be getting married for another year or so. Gotta give papa and mama time to recover and save up again!

Hello terrific blog! Does runningg a blog such as this take a large amount of work?
I have no knowledge of programming but I was hoping
to start my own blog in the near future. Anyway, if you have any suggestions orr techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic however I simply needed to ask.
Thanhks a lot!
Thanks so much! It’s great to get feedback, especially of the positive kind.
To answer your questions, WordPress makes it really easy to set up a blog. There is a vast array of templates to choose from. The trick is to know exactly what you want. It is worth spending some time planning out your blog before sitting down in front of the screen to actually set it up.
Your content can be as complex or simple as you like. To give you an idea of how long it could take, I spent a week planning and building this site. Then I made a long term plan to post regularly blog entries and update other content (such as photographs, graphic work, cv) as relevant. My targeted number of blog entries was an average of one a week. Some weeks I met this target, others I missed, and on special weeks I exceeded. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that I plan my posts – I don’t have an agenda of posts for the year, it’s more that I think about a post a day or two before I write it. It has been very rare occasions when I have posted impulsively. I do like being a planner, and I do feel that my planned posts are more informative to reflect the research that would have gone into them, but the impulsive posts possess the “now” factor and the relevance of present time. At the end of the day, both approaches have value and I aim to improve my efficiency and effectiveness executing both.
Hope this helps and good luck with you blog!
